PRESIDENT CITES NEW COLLEGE SPIRIT IN OPENING ADDRESS TO FACULTY
College President Joseph C. Burke took note of the emergence of a new college spirit during his Tuesday opening address to
faculty. It is a spirit, said the President, which is characterized by increased interaction and cooperation between departments;
by a stronger feeling of identity with the College; by intradepartmenta! evaluation and restructuring of degree programs to meet
changing student and societal needs; by renewed interest in teaching and the development of instructional innovations; by
greater research activity despite the diminished availability of funding; by the quantity and quality of lectures, art exhibits,
concerts and plays originating on campus; and by the growing range of public service activities which have benefited the North
Country community. President Burke commended the faculty for "doing better with less."
"While taking pride in the past, we must live in the present and plan for the future," said the President. "The future of this College
will be a composite of our view of what it ought to become and the outside influences which limit what we can become. It will be
forged by the combination of our internal aspirations and actions and the external constrictions and constraints."
Dr. Burke predicted that the budget would remain the greatest external constraint during the next few years. "Though the fiscal
crisis of the State appears to have receded, its after-effects will probably dictate continued austerity," he said in explaining the
chances for acceptance of the College's request for additional funds. State University has recommended that the College
receive $262,000 for program improvements. Dr. Burke noted, however, that the recommendation "must now run the gauntlet
of the Division of the Budget, the Governor's Office and the Legislature" where the probability of success for the total SUNY
budget request, including the increase for Plattsburgh, is "dim," according to his informed sources. "Though the prospect of a
steady state budget for 1 977-78 hardly affords occasion for rejoicing," said Dr. Burke, "it is infinitely preferable to a new round
of budget cuts." (Weekly will explain the College's 1977-78 budget request in greater detail next week).
President Burke concluded his address by setting a goal for the coming year: "I ask no less than that we strive, individually and
collectively, to achieve the highest standards, to understand excellence, to expect excellence from ourselves and others, and to
honor excellence wherever and in whatever form we find it."
ENTERING CLASS BEST ACADEMICALLY QUALIFIED IN COLLEGE'S HISTORY
A marked increase in applications for admission, combined with a lower quota for enrollment of new students, have combined
to produce the best academically qualified entering class in the College's history. The College appears close to achieving its
new student goal of 1 ,650 persons (925 freshmen, 625 transfers and 100 readmits). Entering freshmen, on the average, scored
higher on Regents Scholarship qualifying examinations, ranked higher in high school class work, and maintained a mean high
school average (86.4) higher than those maintained by any previous entering class. Transfer students entering the College this
fall have a mean grade point average of 2.79 from their previous college work, compared with the 2.69 mean grade point average
of last year's entering transfers.
President Burke referred to the increase in applications, the smaller entering class, and the higher academic quality of the new
class in his address to faculty Tuesday. "The real magnet for good students is the quality of our programs and personnel and the
quality of their life and treatment on campus," he stated. "Only through excellence in program and performance can we attract
and hold the best and brightest of students."
NEW FACES INCLUDE LIBRARIAN, ASSOCIATE DEAN AND DIRECTOR OF HEALTH SERVICES
Among the 71 new full-time and part-time persons who have been
added to the College's professional staff to fill vacancies created
by retirements, resignations or leaves are a director of libraries,
an associate dean of Professional and General Studies, and a
director of student health services.
Robert E. Burton, former assistant director of public services for
the SUNY Buffalo University Libraries, was appointed director of
libraries at Plattsburgh on September 1. His appointment
concludes a two-year search. Burton holds bachelor's and
master's degrees from the University of Michigan, and directed
branches of the University of Michigan Libraries for 13 years prior
to his appointment at Buffalo in 1975.
Mr. Burton Dr. Papke Dr. Spear
Dr. Ross R. Papke has been appointed associate dean of professional and general studies, filling a vacancy created by the
resignation last spring of Dale Nitzschke. Dr. Papke holds bachelor's and master's degrees and a doctorate in administration
from the University of Wisconsin. He was most recently the director of the bureau of educational studies and services at Hofstra
University, and has held previous administrative positions as superintendent of schools in Montello, Wisconsin, administrative

leave his private practice at the Beaumont Health Care Clinic to accept the position. He has practiced medicine in the
Plattsburgh area since 1965, and holds degrees from the University of Vermont and Albany Medical College. He was elected, to
a three-year term as Clinton County Coroner last November.

PLATTSBURGH ATTORNEY LOUIS WOLFE APPOINTED TO COLLEGE COUNCIL
Governor Hugh Carey has appointed local attorney Louis E. Wolfe to the Plattsburgh State College Council. Wolfe, 43, is a
Plattsburgh native with a long history of voluntary and elected service to the people of Clinton County. He is
named to the council seat being vacated by Robert T. Booth, whose term has expired.
"We are very fortunate that Governor Carey has approved our nomination of Louis Wolfe to our College
Council," said College President Joseph C. Burke. "During my three years in Plattsburgh I have come to
regard him as a man with great energy and drive who is dedicated to the ideals of public service. I look forward
to working closely with him and benefiting from his counsel on the issues facing the College."
Members of the College Council serve nine-year terms, without remuneration. Among the major duties and
responsibilities of the nine-member Council are establishment of rules and regulations governing student
conduct and behavior, review of proposed budget requests for the institution, and development of regulations governing the
care, custody and management of Plattsburgh State's buildings, grounds and equipment.
Wolfe has recently been appointed chairman of the New York State Commission on Sports and Olympics. He was elected in

disciplines. They are nominated as Exchange Scholars by their colleagues, recommended for appointment
by the University Faculty Senate, and appointed by the Chancellor.

an honor. The title is awarded for life-time. The Scholar Exchange program was initiated to enhance the
scholarly growth and standing of academic departments who invite the scholars to their campuses. Visits may last from one to
three days, by agreement between the scholars and the host departments.

H.E.W. FUNDS UPWARD BOUND FOR 1976-77
Plattsburgh State's Upward Bound program has received a $75,000 grant from the Office of Education in the Department of
Health Education and Welfare. The grant will finance Upward Bound operations from September through June, and
application has been made for additional operating funds to support the Upward Bound summer program in 1977.
Upward Bound currently serves approximately 100 senior high school students from Clinton, Essexand Franklin Counties. Its
program is designed to develop interests and learning skills which will motivate educationally oreconomically disadvantaged
high school students to continue with some type of post-secondary education. Upward Bound comprises a residential summer
program (operated at the Plattsburgh campus) and a series of winter visitations which make counseling and tutorial services
available to students in their own schools. Thomas Moran directs the program from offices in Hood Hall. It operates under the
College's Student Affairs Division.
BE AWARE OF OPEN CONTAINER AND ALL-NIGHT PARKING BANS
Students, faculty and staff can avert possible fines and imprisonment by obeying the City of Plattsburgh's open container and
all-night parking laws. All-night parking has been prohibited on Plattsburgh City streets since 1 970 by a law which bans parking
from 2:00 until 6:00 a.m. City Police have begun strict enforcement of that law this fall to facilitate street cleaning operations.
Cars parked on City streets between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m. are presently being tagged with $5 parking tickets, and police expect to
begin towing illegally parked cars (at a cost between $17.50 and $20) within a week. The regulation takes into account all City
streets and parking areas with the exception of the City lot on the south side of Broad Street at the intersection with Durkee
Street. Police Capt. Leo Connick suggests that persons residing off campus make arrangements to park their automobiles in
private lots, such as those owned by neighborhood service stations.
Carrying alcoholic beverages in open containers on public highways, streets, sidewalks and other areas open to the general
public is also a violation of Plattsburgh City Laws. First offenses are punishable by $25 fines or ten-day jail sentences, and
subsequent offenses may be punished by $50 fines, 30-day jail sentences, or both.

NEW COLLEGE LIBRARY NAMED IN MEMORY OF BENJAMIN F. FEINBERG
Plattsburgh's new college library, like its predecessor the current Feinberg Library on Beekman Street, will be named in
memory of the late State Senator Benjamin F. Feinberg. At their regular monthly meeting yesterday, the State University
Trustees approved a recommendation from the Plattsburgh College Council suggesting dedication of the new 500,000-volume
library in Senator Feinberg's memory. The College will move its library resources to the new building next summer.
A North Country native and father of current Clinton County and Family Court Judge Robert J. Feinberg, Benjamin Feinberg
was the sponsor of legislation which established the State University of New York in 1948. Earlier, in 1942, Senator Feinberg
authored the legislation which changed the status of nine Normal Schools in the State (among them the Plattsburgh Normal
School) to full-fledged colleges for teacher preparation with first-time authority to grant baccalaureate degrees. "With his
farsighted wisdom and dedication to the ideal of public higher education in New York State, Benjamin Feinberg was the
motivating force behind establishment of this State University system, "said College President Joseph C. Burke. "We are proud
that a native of our area has established this University as his legacy, and we are honored to name the most vital building on our
campus in his memory."
GRANT AND CONTRACT TOTALS UP 68% IN ONE YEAR
According to a report issued this week by Dr. Harold Perkins, Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, the dollar value of grant
and contract activity on campus has increased an estimated 68 per cent in one year. During the one-year period which ended
August 31, 1976, 27 research proposals were funded on the Plattsburgh campus for a total dollar value of $587,676. Though
official, detailed records were not kept during the previous one-year period (Dr. Perkins assumed the new deanship September
1 , 1975), the best information available from the SUNY Research Foundation computer shows that 14 proposals were funded
for a total of $349,284 during the year ending August 31, 1975.
Of 60 research proposals submitted by Plattsburgh faculty members during the past year, 27, or 45 percent, have been funded
(action is pending on seven proposals). Eighteen separate agencies are involved in funding the proposals, and 43 faculty and
three students have been involved as project directors on the funded research.
ADMISSIONS REPORTS 1688 NEW STUDENTS
With "no shows" and withdrawals accounted for, the College admissions office reports a total of 1688 new students enrolled at
Plattsburgh State this fall semester. The final new student admissions report shows 846 freshmen and, 688 transfers were
enrolled this semester, and 1 44 students were readmitted or reinstated. The admissions goal for the fall was 1 ,650 new students.
CAMPUS UNITED WAY CONTRIBUTIONS REACH $2,200
Plattsburgh State contributions to the 1977 Clinton County United Way fund drive totaled $2,264 at the end of the day Tuesday.
With contributions reported from 67 persons during the first active week of the campaign, the average gift on campus was
$33.80. "We have achieved 14 per cent of our $16,500 goal for the 1977 United Way fund drive," said campaign coordinator
Thomas Aceto. "We have a great deal of work ahead of us, but a unified, campus-wide effort should yield our goal and more."
The drive continues through November.
PRESIDENT FORD'S SON IN TOWN SATURDAY
President Gerald Ford's son Michael will be in Plattsburgh Saturday to participate in a function sponsored by local
Republicans. Young Republicans at the College have extended Ford an invitation to speak on campus, but he had not accepted
as of our deadline Wednesday.
STRAW POLL SHOWS SPLIT BALLOTS AND TIGHT PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Prefaced by the qualifiers that: 1) our sample was limited to the readers of Weekly, and 2) our response was relatively low (89
persons responded), following are the results of the straw poll offered in last week's issue.
For President: 51 .7 per cent favored Jimmy Carter; 39.3 per cent favored Gerald Ford; 5.6 per cent favored other candidates; 3.4
per cent were undecided.
For U.S. Senate: 56.8 percent favored uaniel Patrick Moynihan; 30.7 percent favored James Buckley; 4.5 per cent favored other
candidates; 8.0 per cent were undecided.
For U.S. Congress: 69.8 per cent favored Norma Bartle; 25.6 per cent favored Robert McEwen; 1.2 per cent favored other
candidates; 3.5 per cent were undecided.
For State Senate: 87 per cent favored Ronald Stafford; 6.0 per cent favored John Hall; 1 .2 per cent favored other candidates; 6.0
per cent were undecided.
For State Assembly: 68.2 per cent favored Robert Garrow; 22.4 per cent favored Andrew Ryan; 1.2 per cent favored other
candidates; 8.2 per cent were undecided.
One note of interest: our straw poll reflected an extremly small number of strict, party line voters. We thank all of you who
participated, and urge all of our readers to exercise their franchise at the polls Tuesday.

DR. LORRAINE PHILLIPS APPOINTED HEAD OF NURSING
The new chairperson of the department of nursing is Dr. Lorraine Waters Phillips, who arrived on
campus Monday from the University of New Hampshire. Dr. Phillips holds diplomas and degrees from
the Hospital for the Women of Maryland (diploma), Duke University (B.S.N. Ed.), the University of
Washington (M.N.), and Boston University (D.N. Sc.). Her experience in the field includes staff positions
as a medical-surgical nurse, an operating room nurse and a psychiatric nurse. In education she has held
faculty positions at the University of Washington, the University of Vermont and the University of New
Hampshire.
At New Hampshire, where she has been a member of the faculty for the past two years, Dr. Phillips was
project director for a federally funded curriculum study and revision. That project resulted in revision of
the UNH nursing program from a traditional curriculum oriented toward a medical model to a fully
integrated curriculum oriented to the nursing process. The new curriculum has received full
accreditation from the National League of Nursing for eight years — the maximum accreditation period.
Just before leaving UNH, Dr. Phillips completed a grant proposal for the Department of Health
Education and Welfare proposing establishment of a new laboratory resource facility to support the
University's revised program.
UNITED WAY FUND DRIVE STILL BELOW 50% OF GOAL
With approximately three weeks remaining in the campus fund drive for the Clinton County United Way,
faculty and staff contributions this week totaled approximately 46 per cent of the goal of $15,000. The
student goal of $1 ,500 brings the total campus goal for fund drive contributions to $16,500. "We need a
very positive, sincere effort on the part of faculty and staff to attain our goal of support for the fourteen
vital Clinton County agencies which derive operating funds from the United Way," said campus
campaign coordinator Thomas Aceto. "To date, fewer than one in four members of the faculty and staff
have given true meaning to their support for the philosophy of a community helping its own. Those
contributors have enabled us to reach nearly half our goal. A real show of support from those who have
not yet contributed can enable us to surpass our goal, but that support must be forthcoming soon —
hopefully within the next dozen days before we recess for Thanksgiving."

GOVERNOR APPOINTS ASSEMBLYWOMAN AMATUCCI TO COLLEGE COUNCIL
Governor Carey has appointed Ms. Jean Amatucci of Huguenot, New York, to the Plattsburgh State University College Council
foraterm ending in 1985. Ms. Amatucci was the College's 1 976 Alumnus-of-the-Year and was elected to her second term inthe
State Assembly November 2. She is appointed to the Council seat formerly occupied by Franklin Forbes, who declined
reappointment to a nine-year-Council term. "We have lost a valued Council member as Franklin Forbes' 1 5 years of service
come to an end," said College President Joseph C. Burke, "but we are fortunate that Governor Carey has chosen a person of
Jean Amatucci's energy and ability to serve in our behalf. Mr. Forbes has been an influential member of our Council throughout
his term, and his service to the College has extended beyond the realm of expected Council responsibility." He continues as a
director of the Plattsburgh College Foundation.
"During her freshman term in the Assembly Ms. Amatucci has earned a reputation as one of the hardest working, most
resourceful persons in State government. The people she represents in Orange and Sullivan County acknowledged that fact
with their overwhelming support at the polls, and her fellow Plattsburgh Alumni recognized her dedication with their highest
honor. We look forward to her legislative acumen as one of many qualities which she will bring to our Council," said Dr. Burke.
IMPACT OF QUEBEC SEPARATIST VICTORY TO BE DISCUSSED THIS AFTERNOON
An upset victory Monday established a separatist majority in the Quebec government. The impact of
that election will be the topic of an open discussion this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in Room 200 of Yokum
Communications Lecture Hall. All interested persons are invited to attend and participate. Members of $16,500
the College's faculty in Canadian Studies will lead the discussion.
CAMPUS UNITED WAY DRIVE REACHES 63% OF GOAL
The campus fund drive for the Clinton County United Way reached 63 per cent of its 1 977 goal this week
as 93 new contributors added another $2,500 in donations. Collections from faculty and staff now total
$9,378 toward a goal of $15,000. Solicitors hope to raise $1,500 among students to achieve an all-
College contribution of at least $16,500.
Compared with the United Way campaign conducted on campus least year, the 1977 drive has fewer
contributors to this point, but they have been more generous. United Way coordinator Thomas Aceto is
pleased with the 1 1 per cent increase in the average gift, but discouraged by diminished participation in
the drive. "I am aware of a number of factors which may make it more difficult for faculty and staff to
support this year's drive," Aceto said yesterday, "but I would encourage anyone who hasn't yet
contributed to review again the many services provided by Clinton County United Way agencies. Those
services are available to all of us and all of our families, and I feel we have an obligation to support the 63%
United Way agencies which provide them."
Twelve days remain until the end of the campus fund drive, and one-third of all faculty and staff have
contributed. A total of half the College's faculty and staff contributed to the drive which surpassed last
year's United Way goal.

UNITED WAY EFFORT AT 72% OF GOAL; AVERAGE GIFT UP CONSIDERABLY
"The contributors who have supported the United Way Fund Drive on campus this year are to be commended," fund drive
coordinator Thomas Aceto said this week. "Despite the realities of inflation and no pay increases, they have made the sacrifices
which have raised our average gift to $28.50 — more than $3.00 above last year's average gift. Our problem this year lies with a
significant lack of participation." Only 39 per cent of all faculty and staff had donated to the United Way campaign as of
Wednesday, compared with 52 per cent participation one year ago.
Faculty and staff have contributed $1 1 ,426 to the 1977 fund drive (76% of their goal) and students have contributed $424 (28% of
their goal) for a total of $11,851 toward a $16,500 goal. "We will make final collections from all of our solicitors in the coming
GIVE YOUR FAIR SHARE THE UNITED WAY
week," Aceto said. "I urge anyone who has lost or failed to receive their fund drive materials to contact medirectly. I would also
ask persons who have not yet donated to reconsider making some gift, no matter how small. A $7.50 contribution per person
from all those who haven't contributed — roughly 15 cents per week — would put us over our goal."

RESPONDING TO GOVERNOR'S CALL FOR BUDGET CUTS, STAFFORD STRESSES COMMITMENT TO SUNY
State Senator Ronald B. Stafford (R. Peru and chairman of the Senate Committee on Higher Education) told Weekly Tuesday
that "There are opinions which differ with the position that the State budget will be $1 -billion in the red unless we adopt major
program cuts." Governor Carey predicted the budget shortfall at a Monday press conference, but refused to specify which state
programs might be affected by cuts he will propose. Sen. Stafford continued, "If, indeed, there is a lack of funds, I think we must
take a close look at more recent demands on the State dollar before we even consider cutting back on high-priority
commitments which were made long ago. Education in all its aspects, including State University, must be considered one of
those top priorities of the State of New York. I feel that we must meet our commitment to maintaining a viable State University."
The Governor will send his budget proposal to the Legislature January 18.

NO DEFINITIVE WORD YET ON BUDGET PROSPECTS
To date, no word has been received from State budget officials about the prospects for the College's budget for the 1977-78
fiscal year, beginning April 1. President Joseph C. Burke told the College Council Monday that the SUNY Trustees have
requested an allocation of $14,359,000 for Plattsburgh in the Governor's Budget. The request is an increase of 3.8 per cent over
the College's $13,827,000 budget for the current fiscal year. Approximately half of the budget increase would pay for
strengthening existing programs and the remainder would offset fixed cost increases.
Some advance word relative to the figure that has been inserted in the Executive Budget may be given to College authorities
prior to January 18, the date on which the Governor is scheduled to make his budget public.
BAUM TO ADDRESS COMMENCEMENT.. .'WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE DOING?!'
Dr. Stuart J. Baum, one of two Plattsburgh State faculty members chosen to receive Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in
Teaching last spring, will deliver the featured address at winter commencement exercises Wednesday (December 22). Titled
"What on Earth are We Doing?!", Dr. Baum's address is intended to alert his audience to the potential ramifications of some
current types of scientific research. "Roughly 90 per cent of our graduates are not science majors," explained Dr. Baum, an
associate professor of chemistry. "I fear those non-scientists may not be aware that current genetic research involving such
things as cloning and gene grafting is only one step away from the production of hybrid, test-tube forms of life. It's time more
non-scientisits became involved in discussions of this research, and that's the point I hope to make Wednesday."
Dr. Baum and Dr. Richard Beach (who will deliver the summer commencement address) were chosen last year as the first two
Plattsburgh faculty members ever to receive SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer's Awards for Excellence in Teaching. "Dr.
Baum's selection for the Chancellor's Award characterizes the high regard in which he is held by students and faculty on the
Plattsburgh campus," said President Burke. "It is most appropriate that a faculty member whose teaching has received such
recognition should deliver our commencement address, and we are honored that he has accepted our invitation to speak."
FEW ATTEND FIRST PUBLIC COUNCIL MEETING
A very small gallery took advantage of the first opportunity to witness and participate in an open, public meeting of the
Plattsburgh College Council. Held Monday in the College Center Ballroom — 19 days prior to the day when all public bodies
must open their business meetings to the public under the State's new "sunshine" law — the meeting was attended by two
reporters, one spectator who remained throughout, and a handful of students who stayed only briefly.
The Council gave unanimous approval to resolutions honoring Franklin Forbes (citing 15 years of valued service as a member
of the Council) and Dr. Elinor Barnes (citing significant contributions to the CEC reading center during her tenure from 1965-
1976). Louis E. Wolfe was approved as the Council's representative to the Board of Directors of the Plattsburgh College
Foundation, replacing Forbes. President Burke's report to the Council included an update on the Plattsburgh State budget (see
first item, this issue); a negative reaction to the Regents Master Plan for Higher Education; and an explanation of the duties of
the Wessell Commission, which has been appointed by the Governor to make recommendations on the future of higher
education.
The Council also heard reports on a new system for registering students, on gift income received by the College Foundation,
and on a continuing survey of Plattsburgh students' aspirations and achievements.
21 FACULTY EARN PROMOTIONS IN RANK
Twenty-one members of the teaching faculty — fifteen from the Faculty of Arts and Science and six from the Faculty of
Professional and General Studies — have been promoted, effective December 23. They are:

U.U. P. SCHOLARSHIP MEMORIALIZES JOHN DEEB
United University Professions, the bargaining agent which represents professional
employees of State University, has established a $300 John Deeb Memorial Scholarship
with the Plattsburgh College Foundation. Dr. Deeb, professor of education at the College
for 20 years, died September 30. The executive board of the local chapter of U.U. P. voted to
establish the scholarship with a $150 gift, and that gift was matched by a gift from the
statewide organization. Plattsburgh Chapter President Richard Brogowski presented a
check for the scholarship to President Burke during a brief ceremony Tuesday. Full criteria
for the scholarship have not yet been decided, though Brogowski told Weekly Tuesday that
the award is intended for a student in the education program.
COMMITTEE MOBILIZES TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR DISABLED
An ad hoc committee comprising Dr. Robert Slauson (psychology), Lawrence Arcarese
(educational research), Joseph Laramie (Upward Bound), Derek Allan (facilities planning),
Michael Kerman (admissions) and Thomas Hines (director of affirmative action) has
formed to identify and deal with any physical and social barriers which may impede handicapped students at Plattsburgh State.
Dr. Slauson explained that most of the impediments experienced by handicapped students result merely from lack of
awareness on the part of persons who are not disabled, and he sees the major goal of the committee as raising that awareness.
In its attempt to minimize or eliminate the obstacles which may obstruct the efforts of handicapped students on this campus,
the committee solicits input from the students who experience those obstructions. If you are a disabled student experiencing
difficulty at Plattsburgh State, or if you know a disabled student who is experiencing difficulties, we urge you to contact any of
the members of the committee.
SENATE APPROVES PROPOSAL FOR M.S. IN SPECIAL EDUCATION
The Faculty Senate Tuesday gave its approval to a proposal for a new master of science program in special education.
President Burke indicated yesterday that his approval would be forthcoming, and that the program proposal will be sent on to
SUNY Central Office for action prior to final review by the State Educational Department.
The Senate also heard a report from its Faculty Affairs Committee and President Burke regarding consultation in respect to
reallocation of vacant faculty positions. The Senate received, but took no action on, a report from its ad hoc committee to
review the Faculty Bylaws. That committee reported that it found the Bylaws' present delineation of faculty governance units to
be satisfactory.
TWO ADMINISTRATORS EARN VITAL POSTS
Bernard J. Seawell, vice president for finance and management, was elected to a two-year term on the executive committee of
the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers at the Association's recent annual meeting.
Governor Carey has appointed Dr. Nicholas F. Troisi, dean of professional and general studies, to the Citizens' Policy and
Complaint Review Council which reviews grievances about local correctional facilities and advises the State Corrections
Commission on policies, plans and programs.

Feinberg Library will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, from December 23 through January 24. It
